I really wish I could taste more lemon than ginger in this tea, but unfortunately the ginger is way too overpowering. I’ve found I’m extremely sensitive to ginger in my blends which will make my rating of this blend extremely biased. This is definitely a tea that would appeal more for someone looking for an earthier citrus blend. The yaupon is very interesting though and I’d love to see DAVIDsTEA continue to experiment with these new and innovative leaves in such a mainstream market!

Bio

Law student from Alberta, Canada with a passion for all things tea after quitting coffee. Currently drinking primarily DAVIDsTEA blends due to proximity and convenience, but open to expanding my tea-rizons in the near future.

RATINGSYSTEM
0-20: I cannot get through a cup of this, it will be given away/thrown out.
20-40: Tolerable. Will definitely not repurchase.
40-60: Average. Will likely not repurchase.
60-80: Good to very good. May repurchase if I’m in the mood for one of these teas, but these teas are not staples in my collection.
80-95: Will very likely repurchase, but these teas are something I could live without or easily find a suitable substitute.
95-100: Staples. Must always have on hand, would go to the ends of the earth to track down if discontinued.

PREPARATION
I make all of my teas Western style, but if I do get more into straight teas in the future you can bet I will be buying a gong fu set. If I’ve added any milk to my teas, it’s always vanilla soy milk, and I do not add sweetener unless otherwise noted. Usually I’m very good about making a note of any additional ingredients I’ve added to the tea.
